At a stretch, yes. It's not safe and certainly not recommended, but if you're desperate a shirt would work fine. Just slip it around the horses neck up by the head and gently hold it. A hand on the horses nose to guide the horse is also useful when leading this way, especially seeing you would have little control.

∙ 11y agoA horse should be trained to easily halter. You ought to be able to walk up and put his halter on. Actualy, the horse should walk up to you.
Here is what I do with my horse, Lady:
When we pull up in the truck, she and her two pasturemates come running to the gate. We go through the gate to the trailer, which serves as our tack room. I pull out a halter and go to Lady's shoulder. I pet her a bit and talk to her and tell her what a good horse she is, and then I ask her to bring her head around and lower it. Then I put the halter on, pet her some more and give her a treat.
However, not all horses are so friendly, and some people don't really care to form this relationship with their horse, or they just don't have the time to do so. Other ways to catch a horse is to bribe them with grain or treats. (I use a treat more as a reward than a bribe-a bribe is given to make a horse do something. A reward is, well, a reward for doing something). You may also have to corner them and then put a halter or a rope around their neck (and it may be possible for you to put a rope around their neck, and then wrap the extra part of the rope around their nose, and bring it through the loop that is around his neck, and then you have some form of a halter.
However, cornering them can frighten them, because this is awfulll like predatory behavior, and since horses are flight or fight animals, when you corner them, they cannot run, so the might resort to fighting. I much prefer the first way. It takes a while to train them, but with positive reinforcement, it is the safest, and I think the best, way.

Always use a halter as it will give you the most control. Also if the horse is loose and in a herd never carry any feed of any kind into the paddock or pasture with you as you may be mugged by the other horses and wind up getting trampled.Once you have the horse it would be a good idea to work on it's 're-call' training.

Should you keep a halter on your horse while turned out?
No, you should not. The horse can get caught of something in the pasture or pen, and also if the halter is too tight it can rub bare spots on the horses face, and if left on too long and too tight it the skin can start to grow over the halter. If the horse is hard too catch, you need to practice catching the horse so it wouldn't be a problem, however the halter should not be kept on the horse loose on pasture.

You can use a lead rope or any other rope that is easy to hide behind you. You just take the rope and loop it around the horse's neck and tug on the rope and the horse should follow. Note: Don't try to choke the horse. It may wind up hurting both of you.
What is a halter used for?
Well when the horse was a baby you should have kept a halter on a few days after he was born to get used to it. If you did not do that than you can get a halter and put it on loose so that it is not hurting him/her but tight enough so they cant rip it off. when the horse gets used to that then you can clip a lead rope to his halter and ask for a walk and it will take time but if the horse is still a baby it will take less time then a matured horse

When my horse gets loose I get a bucket of grain (or special food he really likes) and show it to him. This allows me to get close enough to get his halter on. Just the lead rope around his neck is enough to lead my horse. Some horses might need the halter on. If your horse is loose without his halter I presume you're away from his paddock or stable yard and buckets of his favourite food aren't easily to hand. Probably the only item you'll have handy will be some horsenuts or a carrot in your pocket, and a rope, if you're lucky. If he can be approached safely, do so, offering treats if you have them, which you should, and calm him as much as possible before trying to restrain him. If you have no rope and he's really calm you can gently lead him by his mane and neck. It's dangerous to just rush up and try to rope or grab him, and if he's panicky it's highly dangerous to be near him at all. Go back to the stable and get help.

Should you tie a horse to a post tight or not?
Don't. If the horse spooks, the lead rope will not come loose. Many horses will then rear when they find that they can't escape. Often, the halter will break, but if not, your horse will be seriously hurt. Always use a slip knot to tie your horse, or if you have to, use a break away halter. Also, never leave your horse alone while tied.
